Christopher McDougall

The astonishing national bestseller and hugely entertaining story that completely changed the way we run. An epic adventure that began with one simple question: Why does my foot hurt? Isolated by Mexico's deadly Copper Canyons, the blissful Tarahumara Indians have honed the ability to run hundreds of miles without rest or injury. In a riveting narrative, award-winning journalist and often-injured runner Christopher McDougall sets out to discover their secrets. In the process, he takes his readers from science labs at Harvard to the sun-baked valleys and freezing peaks across North America, where ever-growing numbers of ultra-runners are pushing their bodies to the limit, and, finally, to a climactic race in the Copper Canyons that pits America’s best ultra-runners against the tribe. McDougall’s incredible story will not only engage your mind but inspire your body when you realize that you, indeed all of us, were born to run.

Julie Angel

From its humble origins in the backstreets and rooftops of Paris's urban jungle, to the tops of London and New York's skyscrapers, Parkour, has become an adrenaline-fuelled implosion on the urban landscape. But more than a sport that most jaw-dropped onlookers can hardly comprehend, Parkour is an exploration of movement and a return to our body's natural ability to run, jump, hang and move with fluidity. For the first time, Julie Angel tells the story of Parkour's beginnings - the diverse, intriguing and unusual characters who went to the rooftops, hung off the stairwells and drain pipes as they trained through the night, often risking their lives and created something that has become a worldwide phenomenon. Breaking the Jumptells the unknown story behind Parkour's rise, and asks what is it that drives those who stand on the edge and think 'go'."

Born to Run 2: The Ultimate Training Guide

Ein vergessenes Volk und das Geheimnis der besten und glücklichsten Läufer der Welt

Born to Run (Né pour courir)

A true adventure story about ultra-runners (including the author) those who pride themselves on racing up to 100 miles, across deserts and mountains and the greatest race the world has never seen.

The Hidden Tribe, the Ultra-runners, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen

Zrozeni k běhu – Born to Run je kniha plná fantastických postav, ohromujících sportovních výkonů, nadčasové vědy, a především inspirace. Epickým příběhem odpovídá na jednoduchou otázku: Jak to, že mě při běhání bolí nohy? Při hledání odpovědi se Christopher McDougall vydal za kmenem nejlepších dálkových běžců na světě a získal jejich tajemství. Zároveň nám dokazuje, že všechno, co jsme dosud o běhání věděli nebo si mysleli, že víme, je špatně. Strážci ztraceného umění jsou indiáni kmene Tarahumarů z oblasti mexických Copper Canyons – Měděných kaňonů. Žijí v jednom z nejdivočejších krajů Severní Ameriky a dlouhá staletí používají techniky, které jim dovolují běhat bez odpočinku stovky mil a honit cokoli, jelenem počínaje a olympijským maratoncem konče, přičemž si ještě dokážou každou uběhnutou míli pěkně vychutnat. Jejich takřka nadlidskému nadání se vyrovná snad jen jejich neochvějné zdraví a duševní vyrovnanost, díky nimž jsou Tarahumarové imunní vůči nemocem a svárům doprovázejícím moderní civilizaci. S pomocí Caballa Blanka – Bílého koně, tajemného samotáře žijícího s kmenem, autor dokázal nejenom odkrýt tajemství Tarahumarů, ale také v sobě nalézt ultrasportovce během tréninku na svou životní výzvu: padesátimílový závod srdcem kraje Tarahumarů, v němž proti sobě stáli příslušníci indiánského kmene a nezvyklá skupinka Američanů zahrnující kromě jiných také ultramaratonce, krásnou mladou surfařku a bosého podivína.
